Data Files

[benjaminpope]

Just used conda to install webbpsf - I get an environment error saying I need 0.6.0 data files to run it when I try to import (see error below).

But when I go to the link to get the data files, it looks like 0.5.0 are the only ones available?

Conda should be installing version 0.5 still. The version 0.6 is still not officially released (and the data files aren't public yet, pending various project sign-offs that have been much delayed for various reasons). Did you specifically tell conda to install the 0.6 version of webbpsf from github? If so I'd suggest not doing that just quite yet. :-) You can install the 0.6 dev version of poppy just fine, though.

0.6 is now released, including the data files.
